After several emails with the support team, it seems they won't accept coil whine as a valid reason for replacement under warranty. The only option available is a refund, but that process is far too lengthy, and I'm certain I won't be able to get a 5090 anytime soon.
I'm hoping that the PSUs I'll be testing tomorrow might help reduce or eliminate the coil whine. If it were at a moderate level, I wouldn't mind as much, but for those who haven't seen my previous posts, the noise is loud enough to be heard from every corner of my 18m² room (MSI RTX 5090 Gaming TRIO OC). The variations in sound are unbearable, and I can even hear it through my headphones.
If the PSU swap doesn't make a difference (I'll post an update, probably tomorrow evening), I'll either learn to live with it and hope it diminishes over time or consider going through the refund process, depending on the circumstances.
Are there any people who can explain why I'm unable to get a replacement ordered without going through a RMA process? In my home country, I could normally return the product within the withdrawal period and have a replacement issued or ordered without going through the warranty process. There was no need to place a new order, yet that doesn't seem to be the case here.
